Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment immediately pulled out the "Mortal Kombat X" patch that included "Friday the 13th" mass murderer Jason Voorhees in the roster of elite fighters in the arena. On the other hand, it seemed that NetherRealm Studios would be releasing "Mortal Kombat X" Rain soon despite the recent setback on the latest DLC patch.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment also wrote an update on the Steam Community regarding the immediate pull out of the latest "Mortal Kombat X" patch after reports from the gaming community revealed that the patch had allegedly deleted some of the players' unlocked content. The statement read: "We've been monitoring the forums and are aware of the issues players are encountering. We appreciate the constructive feedback from you, the community. We want you to know that there is ongoing support behind the scenes and it's important to us that Mortal Kombat X is a fun experience for all of our players. We will be posting announcements more frequently to keep you aware of upcoming fixes."
The announcement also included updated patch notes "for the early access release of Jason Voorhees to Kombat Pack owners," based on a report from Gamespot. The following would be the updates on the patch notes:

The announcement read that "We are temporarily removing the patch until we can pinpoint the cause of save data loss. We are actively working on this and will keep everyone posted as we work towards a fix. We sincerely apologize for this disruption."
Meanwhile, it seemed that the slight setback did not stop "Mortal Kombat X" creator Ed Boon from teasing fans about "Mortal Kombat X" Rain DLC. Boon teased MKX players on his Twitter account about the possible "Mortal Kombat X" story pack that would feature Rain and other fully playable characters. The tease on Twitter was a tribute concert for the Beatles poster which read "Rain."
While "Mortal Kombat X" would already be available on PS4, Xbox One and the PC, its PS3 and Xbox 360 editions would be released on June 2nd.
